Private Day Tour — Amalfi Coast
Amalfi, Positano, and Sorrento Like a Local — 8-Hour Private Tour
Three legendary coastal towns, one expertly guided private journey from Naples or Salerno.
This private Amalfi Coast tour takes you through three of southern Italy's most celebrated destinations — Amalfi, Positano, and Sorrento — with a relaxed local pace and a dedicated driver who meets you at your chosen point in Naples or Salerno. The itinerary is designed to balance exploration with genuine free time, so you can discover each town on your own terms.
The Amalfi Coast is one of those rare places where every turn of the road reveals a new perspective — cliff-hugging villages, terraced lemon groves, and a coastline that has drawn travelers for centuries. This tour gives you access to the heart of that landscape without the stress of navigating unfamiliar roads.
Each stop is long enough to absorb the local character. Whether you are browsing handmade ceramics in Positano, tracing the medieval lanes of Amalfi, or standing above Sorrento's famous cliffs, the experience is shaped around your own rhythm rather than a rigid group timetable.
Tour Highlights
Visit the 11th-century Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Amalfi, renowned for its gold mosaics and intricate Norman-Arab architecture.
Wander the labyrinth of narrow alleys in Amalfi's historic center, once one of the great maritime republics of the Mediterranean.
Browse exclusive hand-painted ceramics crafted by local artisans in Positano, a tradition that has defined the town's identity for generations.
Enjoy a glass of wine on the beach in Positano with an uninterrupted view of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the surrounding hillside village.
Explore Sorrento's narrow streets lined with local restaurants, family-run shops, and some of the most striking sea views on the entire coast.
Travel as a fully private group with a dedicated local driver who meets you directly at your hotel, port, or train station.
Optional lunch can be arranged on request, allowing you to experience authentic southern Italian cuisine at a local restaurant mid-tour.

This tour operates along the Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana), a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the southern edge of the Sorrentine Peninsula in the Campania region of southern Italy. The route connects three of its most visited towns: Amalfi, a former maritime republic at the foot of Monte Cerreto; Positano, a cliff-hugging village celebrated for its pastel-colored houses and artisan ceramics; and Sorrento, a clifftop town overlooking the Bay of Naples. The tour departs from and returns to either Naples (Napoli Centrale station or the Port of Naples) or Salerno (Salerno train station or the Port of Salerno), making it accessible to travelers arriving by train, cruise ship, or based in either city. The Amalfi Coast road (SS163) is one of the most scenic — and logistically demanding — coastal roads in Europe, making a private driver a practical and widely preferred option for this itinerary.
